Evergreen Family Theatre is pleased to present the poignant and humorous adaptation of “Tuesdays with Morrie,” co-adapted by author Mitch Albom.

As a student at Brandeis University in the late 1970s, Albom was especially drawn to his sociology professor, Morris Schwartz. On graduation he vowed to keep in touch with him, which he failed to do until 1994, when he saw a segment about Schwartz on the TV program Nightline, and learned that he had just been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease. The story chronicles 14 Tuesdays spent getting reacquainted with his beloved sociology professor Morrie Schwartz, who was succumbing to ALS, a neurological illness that steadily leaves “a man frozen inside his own flesh.”

An authentic narrow-gauge railroad which circled the grounds provided entertainment for hundreds of children who thronged Gold Creek Park during its popular 1960s years. In the locomotive cab was William G. Tyrrell, pet food manufacturer, who created the park for family entertainment. The 74-acre site also had a log fort, pioneer grist mill, four swimming pools, picnic areas and an ice-skating dome. The Woodinville Heritage Society will highlight the park in its prime years during a program Saturday, May 17, at 10 a.m. The event will be at the Sammamish Valley Grange on 140th Avenue NE, just north of the Old Hollywood Schoolhouse. The PowerPoint program includes numerous rare photos and comments from former Park employees who will be present.
